I have a kitten who is a little over 3 months. He is our first and only kitten in the apartment. We have had him for 12 days now. My problem is our kitty wont sleep through the whole night. Every night ranging from 2-4 in the morning he will wake up and do one of the following: munch on my hair, lick my ear, play with his toys on the floor, or I will wake up and he is just staring at me real wide eyed on the head board (funny by creepy lol). Every single night when he does this we throw him out of the bedroom and close the door, and he doesn't make one sound and goes right to sleep in the living room.
I understand that cats are nocturnal, but I have also heard that they will get used to a humans sleep schedule. I have already tried playing with him about an hour before bed to wear him out and no luck. I can't feed him on a schedule because we leave his food out all the time so that doesnt work. I have tried many "tricks" and none seem to work. Maybe I have just not given it enough time. How long till a kitten settles down and sleeps through the night? I am hoping that we arent teaching him bad habits by throwing him out every night when he wakes us up.
